Use these experiential prompts to prepare for and better enact your performance management.
Reflect on how you receive constructive feedback#
Describe in your journal when and how you prefer to get feedback that is intended to be constructive. What helps “get past your shields,” so to speak, so that you can honestly assess the feedback itself?
Reflect on what makes feedback useful#
Think about who gives you the most helpful feedback. What specifically makes it so useful?
Investigate your team's motivation#
Ask each member of your team to describe their biggest professional highlight of the past twelve months. What makes it their biggest highlight? Don’t correct them if you think they’re wrong—just listen. These answers will give you huge insights into the intrinsic motivations for your team members.
